What do I put this down to? These are my injury prevention rules:
- Run with a bus ticket. When I don't feel good, like a niggle that gradually gets worse, I just stop and walk or take a bus home.
- Recovery time. I run every second or third day. I'm not commuting daily any more, so I get adequate time to recover.
- Sufficient warm-up. Get the knees, calves, glutes, ankles and feet properly warmed up.
- Calf socks - since most of my problems are with the lower legs, I always run with calf socks. I don't know if they really help, but since I've been using then I've had no issues.
- Focus on running form. Short stride, landing under the body, "claw-back" etc. There are many sources online - chi-running, pose method and these.
